Irlam Station embankment, along Liverpool Road, has been transformed into a delightful off-road walkway and features quirky 3D art installations which pay homage to this district’s rich industrial heritage. Along the path you can also see two hobbit style houses that will fire the imagination of adults and children alike. The Park is well worth a visit and offers a different view of the district from the seating area.

There are steps to take you to another level along the pathway where there is a life-size industrial locomotives and engine display. As you continue along the path towards Irlam Station and Station House, several heritage boards depict the former local industries and tell the story of the railways and the part Irlam Station played.  It is worth taking time to visit Irlam Station platform where you can see a signal yard exhibit and a vintage signal box. On the Manchester and Liverpool platforms large scale art pieces also tell the rich history of the area.

Station House itself is a Heritage Hub and contains various artefacts and old photographs of a by-gone era, that are well worth viewing. As a taster click here
